three false positives?

Recommended Posts

I just installed MBAM, scanned my laptop, and the results indicate that there are three pieces of Malware on my laptop. The logfile is listed below. I also ran Ad-Aware, Spybot - Search & Destroy, and SUPERAntiSpyware. None of these found any malware on my laptop. Are these false positives or is MBAM finding things that other programs aren't finding?

^^ This is MBAM turning back on a disabled start menu component , in this case unhiding MyComputer .^^

This one is neither FP nor real malware , it is MBAM seeing a component commonly disabled by malware and turning it back on . If you have disabled this yourself just add it to the ignore list and it wont turn up in a scan again .

Hi,

I just nearly made the same experience. After an unmotivated stop of my notebook (complete shut-down) I made a scan with MalByteware to see whether a malware was at the origin. AntiVir Personal and SpyBot didn't find anything, MBAM found serauth1.dll and serauth2.dll with 0 file length in the windows\systems32 folder.

Please be sure not to install any software or use any removal/scanning tools exept those that you are instructed to by the expert who will be assisting you as doing so can make their job much more difficult. I hope I was helpful. Good luck and safe surfing.
